In the morning, long before the sun, In the sunny afternoon, Observe her capricious wits. She was still enamoured with math numbers. They wanted to put a high value on this spectacular display of strength, and they wanted her to pass her art exams; previously, she had chosen landscape painting, Swift as a Star, or ethereal to purple. She needed to pass this standard in order to move on to the next. With her brush, she applied the colours to a wet glass bowl. She loves drawing too. However, she was not as flawless as her peers. She was determined to prepare herself to overcome the gloominess. An impediment in her path. She needed to swing. She had blank paper, a paintbrush, pencils, oil pastels, and everything else on her table. Yet she wasn't sure if she'd be able to draw it as she hoped. A print of the magnificent countryside with trees, mountains, and small houses were given to her. She was meant to draw the scenery of the mountain range. Her art had no real focus. Her mind would only ever linger on a single issue. So she began with little strokes that would fit neatly beneath the sketchbook's frame. Then, as she experimented with various paints and brushes, her technique may have developed.

While some of the lines she drew were quite fantastic, she couldn't help but feel a little humiliated because she couldn't even finish one of the scenes. So she tried the next best thing: she could use a basic method from her favourite art book, a painting technique that was similar to the Math trick. She knew it was difficult, but she knew it would become easier with time. As an outcome, she had to take extra care. She applied her mathematical abilities to craft light grids on scenery painting paper and numbered them. She drew the same grids on her blank paper and numbered them as in her picture. She sketched details of each grid in the same way as on the sheet printed with a mountain view. She drew the grid features in the same way. This is rather fruitful for her in learning a new painting approach. She felt sure she didn't go beyond that and end up looking like a clown. Or, even worse, as a rank amateur.

Instead of spending hours on the final image, she focused on the tiny aspects that took longer to complete. She finally found the perfect shade of blue. And, because the colours were so brilliant, she decided it would be okay if she made her masterpiece a little bolder. She was able to get all five hues of grey with a little effort. They weren't perfect, but they came close. With that goal in mind, she felt comfortable enough to move on to larger canvases. It still felt right. At least she wouldn't have to wait weeks for the next task. She would pass this one. She won't have to wait nearly as long for the next task now. Perhaps starting over on a new canvas would have felt more comfortable. After all, it appeared that she had gained some confidence. Finally, she completed her art exam and was relieved after completing it.
